On-field workouts at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine will get underway on Friday, but the first group of arrivals — offensive linemen, special teamers and running backs — are taking part in the bench press on Thursday. Quenton Nelson is perhaps the biggest name on the offensive line, and as a guard, he’s of particular interest to the San Francisco 49ers.
Nelson killed it in the bench press, putting up 35 reps of 225 pounds. That ties the highest number from 2017, and as the bench is one of the most important things for offensive linemen at the combine, solidifies his spot at the top of the draft.
